Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I love my Tuff-Luv kindle case! I chose black 'cause it's a classic, and a flip-style cover since I don't like the book-style type -- I don't wish to emulate reading a paperback, I just want to read comfortably.
After going through kindle 2 + 3 cover reviews on various manufacturers -- among them Amazon, M-Edge, Oberon, Mivizu, JAVOedge and more -- I decided on the UK-based i-nique and their Tuff-Luv line. You can check out the i-nique website, they make cool stuff.
I'm living abroad, so I ordered this case from Amazon UK -- the total price turned out cheaper for me compared to the US site. I'm not sure if it turns out cheaper for an American, too, though.
The case is quality leather, beautifully stitched. Soft to the touch on the outside, yet reenforced with an inner tough layer. A pleasure to look at and to hold, with no weird smells ;)
The Kindle slips into a pocket and fits snugly, and for extra-safety, there's a small retainer-strap that snaps closed over it. I prefer this method of securing the Kindle to Amazon's hinges method. Even without the snap closed, when I held the case upside down and tried to shake out the Kindle (over a soft, cushioned surface!!!), the Kindle stayed snug in place.
There's easy access to all of the Kindle's buttons, USB port, audio jack. Needless to say you can plug in the USB and charge the device while in its case.
The top flips closed over the kindle, and also has a strap with a snap-fastener, so when you shove the Kindle in a bag, the case stays closed. In one review for a Kindle 2 flip-style case, someone recommended putting the case inside a Neoprene sleeve for extra-protection during long, rough trips. I don't have a sleeve, so I haven't tried *that* trick yet.
In the upper back of the case, 2 speaker grilles are cut out in the shape of the speakers (there are no actual holes, though -- the grilles are sealed with some type of weave-material).
The top folds back easily when you read holding the device in your hands, and to me reading the Kindle while in its Tuff-Luv case doesn't feel "heavy".
The top+stand are stable enough when you open the stand and place the Kindle on a table.
To sum it up: a beautiful, durable Kindle cover, yet not a flimsy one.
By the way, a good site to look for reviews is kindleboards. Users sometime post elaborate reviews with images.

EDITED.

It appears that since I purchased this and wrote my review, manufacturer has changed the product's design. No retainer strap. See Steve Birnbaum's review + comments for details.
